Vance Delivers Remarks at Ford Rouge Complex on Domestic Auto Manufacturing
Vice President JD Vance delivered remarks at the Ford Rouge Complex in Dearborn, Michigan on Dec. 11, 2025, highlighting domestic auto production as evidence of the administration's tariff policy impact. The Rouge Complex, which Ford began operating in 1920, is one of the largest integrated industrial sites in North America; Vance cited the facility's continued domestic operations as evidence that U.S. manufacturing can compete without offshoring.
